Summary of the contracting process

South Lanarkshire Council has successfully completed a procurement process for the provision of independent advice for tenants, classified under administrative housing services. The objective is to support and enhance customer participation in South Lanarkshire, focusing on the scrutiny agenda, support in key regeneration areas, and staff development. The contract, with an estimated value of £350,000, was awarded on 1st June 2018 to the Tenants Information Service. The procurement method used was an open procedure, adhering to the regulations specified in CELEX 32014L0024, with the award criteria heavily weighing quality (70%) over price (30%).

Businesses with expertise in customer participation, scrutiny agenda development, and regeneration projects would particularly benefit from competing in similar tenders. The procurement process, demanding compliance with rigorous exclusion criteria and certification requirements, ensures that only competent and fully compliant businesses participate. Winning such tenders not only ensures a steady flow of contracts but also helps enhance the business’s reputation and credibility within the public sector.

    "description": "Exclusion Criteria Economic operators may be excluded from this competition if they are in any of the situations referred to in regulation 58 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015. ESPD Questions 3A - 3C have been identified as mandatory exclusion grounds and ESPD Questions 3D have been identified as discretionary exclusion grounds. All the exclusion grounds will be assessed on a PASS/FAIL basis. For the mandatory exclusion grounds a bid will be excluded where the bidder fails to provide either a positive response or to provide details to the satisfaction of the Council of the self cleansing measures undertaken. For the discretionary exclusion grounds a bid may be excluded where the bidder fails to provide either a positive response or if the Council is not satisfied as to the self cleansing measures undertaken. ESPD Questions 3A.1 to 3A.8 Serious and Organised Crime - Information Sharing Protocol It is a requirement of this tender that the bidder recommended for award completes and submits, when requested to by the Council, the Serious and Organised Crime - Information Sharing Protocol form for evaluation prior to any award being made. Declarations and Certificates In an open tendering procedure prior to any award being made the successful bidder will provide the undernoted certificates, declarations and/or completed questionnaires to evidence their compliance with the relevant questions within the Qualification Envelope. All certificates, declarations and questionnaires can be found within the Attachment area of PCS-T ESPD Question 2D.1 Prompt Payment Certificate Declaration Section *Form of Tender ESPD Question 3D.11 Non-Collusion Certificate ESPD Question 4B.5.1 Insurance Certificates ESPD Questions 3A.1 to 3A.8 Serious and Organised Crime Declaration Question 3A.6 Modern Slavery Act 2015 Declaration *The 'Form of Offer to Tender' must be completed and uploaded within the relevant question in the Commercial Envelope. In the case of an open tender, the other Declarations listed above will not be required to be uploaded and submitted with the bid, but will instead be requested by the Council following the conclusion of the evaluation of the Qualification, Technical and Commercial Envelopes and prior to the award of the tender. Failure to provide this information or in the event that the information provided does not support or evidence the statements made within the ESPD will invalidate the bid. In this scenario the Council will seek to obtain the relevant information and evidence from the second highest scoring bidder and so on until a fully compliant bidder is identified. (SC Ref:796337)",
